During installation, a prompt will give you the option to stop and restart the
print spooler. If you select the ‘No’ option, you must re-run the program when
Printing duplex on pre-printed paper.
Selecting an overlay from Type 7 to Type 10 forces the printer to print
duplex. Due to the way printers handle two sided printing, it is necessary to
select the correct overlay type. If you want to put an overlay, for example
terms & conditions, on the back of your letterhead or other pre-printed
stationery, choose one of the following. You may need to test with
different overlay types to get the correct result.
Type 7
Duplex on reverse

Create overlay
To create an overlay, create a document that prints what you require on
the overlay. Print this to file selecting a PCL5 or PCL6 driver as required.
(N.B. If the application that you used to create the document does not have
a ‘Print to File’ function, you will need to change the printer port to ‘FILE’,
print the document and then restore the port back to the original value.)
You can accept the overlay name suggested or change it to what you want.
Every overlay must have a unique ID except when you require a PCL5 and a
PCL6 version of the same overlay. In this case, use the same ID but a
different overlay name. DoCPrint will select the correct version depending
on the driver.
Send selected overlay(s) to Printer
The Registration dialog box displays the current registration details. It
enables you to enter the new code when you renew the annual license or if
you add additional functionality e.g. additional ports, distributed printing.
